7 ways the WWE can learn from the NFL Draft

#5 Add a third night for NXT

Adam Cole

Good things come in threes. The NFL Draft runs three days. WWE has three brands. Let's get NXT involved.

One of the best things about past Drafts, in my opinion, was the NXT call-ups and the excitement of new talent coming to the main roster. We didn't see much of that this time around.

The Street Profits were really the only call ups, but they've been appearing on RAW for weeks now.

NXT's position in the company is still unclear now that the show has moved to the USA network. Is it still considered the 'minor leagues'? Or is it now just the third brand?

I say treat it as a special commodity. It's not the minor leagues anymore, but it would also be hard for USA executives to draft for both NXT and Raw.

I propose opening NXT stars up for being drafted to RAW and SmackDown, but cap it at five to keep the brand from being cleaned out.

Then once the dust settles from the first two nights. Fox and USA could set up a protection pool. They would each choose the 5-10 Superstars they want to keep at all costs. Triple-H could then draft 5 Superstars from all those that went unprotected to replace the stars NXT lost.

I think that would have been a great way to get Finn Balor back at Full Sail University.
